some super fucked up shit, but whats that saying...there is no ethical consumption under capitalism?...well i will just put electric tape over the behringer logo on my model d like gybe for good measure

One can believe that there's no ethical consumption under capitalism wholeheartedly while also believing it's less unethical to buy things from capitalists who are honest and don't steal. It's not a nihilist get out clause from any personal responsibility because you read a Marx quote on a T-shirt once.

Here's my thought process on this issue. If I were a non forumite person, I would mostly likely not even know that Behringer was just cloning stuff. So, I would say most people are probably ignorant to that because they are looking at $$$ before anything else. The reason for that is quite simple. Money talks on all levels. Sometimes you want something and you can't afford the extra cash to get it, so you buy a cheaper, probably crappier version.

Is it right? No, of course not, but it's done across the board with literally almost everything. China clones everything known to man. I wouldn't be surprised if they were cloning people now (hah).

You cannot stop the machine and you have to be aware of the machines existence to even rage against it (God I'm a word smith).

YOLO bitches. YOLO
